Steady on! I had the same problem with the Panasonic GD87 pictures and there is a way. It's probably the same with the Sharp. [edit These are the same items using the MAT (Mobile Action Technology ) cables. It'll be cheaper from ORAC's site but there'll be P&P. On that Site, they make the same claim for the Fone Data Suite for the Panasonic GD87 and it was simply not true that pictures could be downloaded without the procedure I describe below. But this is how it can be done]
The answer with the Panasonic was within the 'phone. There is a directory structure of sorts and downloads using the cable and software are only allowed from the "Received Files" folder.
So the way I found around the "blockage" was to copy all the image files in the 'phone from the "Pictures" folder to the "Received" folder.
Then back to the Connection Manager on the PC and "Download All".
I think you may be being "spoofed" by the Vodafone people. They wouldn't tell me the solution. But then they probably didn't know themsleves.
Always open-minded, I'll check out the updated software for the Panasonic. It might just have improved.
